Devs? Why not the billionaire owners and CEOs who are pushing ahead? Start with Doltman.

What will the devlopers do? Quit, when asked to work on AI? They will simply be replaced....

Edit: Apparently its entities. So guess they are also covered. Good.

Edit 2:

Many seem to be misinterpreting my comment.

I am not advocating for the xevs to be exempted. All I wanted to point out was that the decision makers and those in power should be the first ones to face the consequences.

Everyone else below them should be next in line.

Headline here seem to pass the buck onto the devs alone. That's what I was addressing.

Yeah, sure buddy. We're going to put a billionaire in prison. Uh huh.

Now, I am super curious. How many billionaires are in prison? There's Sam Bankman-Fried, who I read still has money stashed away in places nobody knows about. Anyone else?

I was in prison with this guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirav_Modi

He's not looking as good as he looks in the pics btw, but I can confirm he has it very well.
